Dhanvantri School Bhuj

Dhanvantri School was set-up in September 1996, by Dr. Shantuben Patel to provide education and training to hearing impaired, intellectually impaired, and children with Cerebral Palsy. It began with 2 hearing impaired children; one of the mothers volunteered to be a teacher. To support the school, the Child Welfare Trust (CWT), Bhuj was established in 1998,
with a clear agenda of mainstreaming the special children in Kutch. CWT is registered as
a public charitable trust under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950, and it runs
Dhanvantri School. At present, provides education and training to more than 140 children who are hearing impaired, intellectually challenged or having cerebral palsy. It works not only towards treating them but also on mainstreaming them, by encouraging and facilitating community
based rehabilitation (CBR) of the children.
